Hello! My name is Ryan Hartung, and I have been at CSI since 2017 working most recently as a Senior Data Specialist. This role allows me to work with all our schools on completing all required State and Federal Data Collections. I assist schools with the processing of their files, provide error reports, troubleshoot issues, and coordinate with CDE to ensure all necessary deadlines are met. In addition to these tasks, I have taken on an additional role of data analysis and visualization. I essentially take existing submitted data, and both review it and provide a summary in a more manageable format.
My educational background is in Environmental Science but have had past roles setting up new data collection systems and other data related activities in both the Oil and Gas and Non-Profit sectors, which has given me the background and experience necessary to work with school related data.
The biggest challenge I see working with schools on data submissions is the number of unique scenarios we encounter and how best to code them. Anytime I believe I have a collection “figured out”, a new situation pops up. My goal is to set schools up for success by providing them with the necessary training, resources, and support needed to thrive in their role. I love working for CSI as it gives me the opportunity to work with our schools on a daily basis in an area of interest to me.
When I am not at work I enjoy hiking, rowing, traveling, and spending time with my family. I am excited to see what the future holds in the world of data submissions!
